    i don't know what the rule is if there is only one entry for TOTM it would really be sad case if @ivan 's tank was disqualified as a result of no competition so im posting this just to make sure competition is on and he gets the recognition he deserves for this tank. its really awesome work.

    Thanks @Ammar
    You have a very nice tank, will look awesome once all of that moss covers the whole tank and gets trimmed.

    waterchanges, good flow and good trimming.
    the trimming need to be done almost to the base so that all the strands can start to grow at equal pace. after that you just keep it trimmed the way you like it.
